To QZZwLOfm/t may conce/m.' l f Be it known that l, ANTON Nessie,subject of the Government ot Yugoslavia, siding at l/V est Park, in thecounty of @nyaboga and State ot Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful improvements in @cnr bination Measuring instruments, oit` whichthe following is a specilication.` n

This invention relatesl to combination ineasuring instruments and isespecially adapted :l'or use by carpenters fits prin cipal object is vtopro-vide a gauge or dei/ice of this character which can be ting`dii'i'erent pitches such as are necessary when cutting` rafters gtorloitch root, etc. llt can also be set 'tor nialring; the mitre cuts orhalt initres and can also be need square Various other uses willbe apparent from the following description.

ln the drawings Fig. l is av plan 'View oit' the device showing it setfor use as a square or tor making initres, Fig'. :Z is a side elerationolf l; Fig. 3 is a View similar to Fig. l showing; the device set 'torindicatino,- a half mitre; d is a plan View ont the bese withthe movablernernber re#` The device consists ot e bese' l which hes two doretailAgrooves 2 and 3 cnt thereiir at a right ingle to each other andintersecty in@N at the center ot the bese. rJfhe base is cut out onits-upper face as ll, and has plate 5 set therein which torres a coverfor the crossed grooves 2 and 3, and the plete 5 has slots 6 and 7therein directly above end in line with the grooves 2 and 3, the slots 6and 7 being),` somewhat narrower than the grooves 2 and tl. Blocks 8 and9 ere adapted to slide back and forth yin the grooves 2 and 3 and havestuds l0 and ll either carried thereby or screwed into there, the studl0 being carried by the block 9 and the stund ll beingscrewed into thebloeit 8; rlhese studs lO and ll are adapted to worh in the slots 6 end7. V n, f

A plate l2 is carried by the studs l() and ll and it in turn carries agraduated elongated straight edge bar or arm member vle which isedjustably inounted thereon bythe plate 12 extending upwardly in alongitudinal slot l5 in the member le. rrlhe inember le can be movedlengthwise backwerdly y `tor cut Serialv No. l.

andlforwardly on l2 and is held in the desired position by tighteningthe nut i6 on the stud l0 and by rotating the stud il by the knob l?thereon.

A catch i8 lits in the slot lo and is held therein and normallypresseddownwerdly by a spring-19 which has one end secured beneath thelrnob 16, and en extension 2O on the lower tace of the block is adaptedto engage in the slot 6 when the device is used as'shown in Fig. l.

521 indicetes angle lts orgrednations on the tace ot the base l, towhich the inovn able niernber ill isset for cutting the desired orcorresponding pitches, llt is to be understood 'that there cen be anynumber ot graduations plsced thereon, only a iew being,` shown in thedrawing. At is also `to understood that the device can be greduated forvarious other uses besides the ot 450 with the long edges oi the bar le80 when the latter is set in its straight positioinas shown in Al,andthe other end of the base l extends at an angle ot 900 across saidedges. Accordingly the former edges provide ineens for indicating anordinary 45 ruiter, and the block can be applied to a piece ot work tomark or in dicate `the corresponding angle thereon; and1 similarly theend lb can be used in con junction with the bar lll as a square. v4Byloosening the knobs 16 and l? the barili can be set at various otherangles. with respect to the base, the blocks 9 and l0 sliding in thegrooves 2 and 3 to positions corresponding; to the desired angle. Andthe crossed grooves permit the bar lll to be swung around completely, soas to extend in any direction or at any angle with respect to the base,and to be shifted laterally,

as with. one edge of the bar registering with the center point of thecrossed slots as in dicated in 3. So the bar 1d may be used to describeany desired angle. The base i 'for example may be applied against theedge et a piece of work, and the bar may then be set to the angledesired, and used to torni a straight edge to scribe a line on the faceot the work at a desired angle to the edge.

` 1When the instrument is set in straight 11G position, es shown in l,the projection 2O snaps into the groove 6 or 7 and so holds the bei* inSuch position.
